If you have a few moments, please answer the following questions either in the comment section or through the contact form under CONTACT on the top of the page. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer the questions!
1. How do you think friendship has changed in the digital age?
2. Are your friendships more or less fulfilling?
3. Are you lonelier even with instant communication capabilities?
4. Do you see many of your social media friends in person? If so, how often?
